[Intro] Dm7 F A7 Dm7 F A7 [Verse 1]
 Dm7                  F                A7
Steal away at sundown, pick a place to hide

Dm7                       F               A7
Check for signs of ambush, hunker down inside

A#         C                Dm7
 Tired of running, tired of never standing still

A# C             Dm
      Hear them riding up the hill
[Chorus]
Dm7                 A7                      Gm
Men whose ribs are showing through their skin, bringing up the rear

Dm7             F               A#           Dm
 It’s high noon somewhere, it’s dark in here
[Verse 2]
 Dm7                F                    A7
Stack my ammunition, be ready when you come

Dm7                       F                 A7
You who thirst for action, I will give you some

A#                     C Dm7
When the smoke dies down, you can rest assured

A# C          Dm
      We will know who kept his word
[Chorus]
Dm7               A7
You who stood so proud once

Gm
I can taste your fear

Dm7              F
 You blazed like torches

    A#           Dm
It’s dark in here
[Bridge]
               Gm       D#                Dm
It’s dark as a coal mine filling up with gas

Gm D#           Dm             A
       I stand ready for the blast
[Verse 3]
Dm7               F                  A7
 Will you be ready when your moment comes?

Dm7                               F                    A7
Will your hand be steady when you reach down for your guns?

        A#                   C   Dm7
Did you leave your house in order when you came for me?

A#        C               Dm
 Is this really where you meant to be?
[Chorus]
Dm7               A7
Just beyond your limits

Gm
Find the new frontier

Dm7           F
I live in the darkness

     A#          Dm
It’s dark in here
[Outro] Dm Dm7 Dm F A# Dm (4x)
